Stable Isotope Laboratory (SIL) is high-end biogeochemical analytical facility at the Department of Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of technology Roorkee (IITR). Our lab is well equipped with Thermo Scientific MAT253 Plus 10 kV Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers (IRMS), and various peripheral and sample preparation devices such as EA ISolink CHNOS elemental analyzer, GasBench II, GC IsoLink II, Kiel IV Carbonate Device, Dionex ASE 350 and Micro-drilling. IRMS allows for measurements of the stable isotope ratios of light elements such as hydrogen, Helium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, clumped isotopes and sulfur at the natural abundance level in a broad range of samples. These isotope data are employed in the fields of geology, geochemistry, hydrology, paleoclimate research, ecology including food and beverages. Research problems to which our data contribute include developing records of past environmental change in terrestrial and marine environments, past climate and water availability in the Himalayan as well as Indo-Gangetic Plane. We provide our services for scientific and Industrial work.
